ArcGIS 2: Essential Workflows
In this course, you will acquire skills that will prepare you to perform the most common ArcGIS workflows. Primarily using ArcMap and ArcGIS Online, you will explore, manage and analyze geographic data while creating informative maps. The course also covers techniques to effectively share your ArcGIS work with decision-makers, colleagues and the public.
Building Geodatabases
This course teaches essential concepts and skills needed to efficiently create a geodatabase, add data to it and realistically model the real-world spatial relationships inherent to your data. You will learn about unique geodatabase features that help ensure data integrity over time and why a geodatabase is the preferred format for storing and managing geographic data. Course concepts apply to file-based and multiuser ArcSDE geodatabases. This course is taught using ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced.
Using LiDAR Data in ArcGIS Desktop
This course explores the techniques and functionalities available to optimize the use of LiDAR data with ArcGIS 10.x Desktop. Participants will learn how to integrate and manage LiDAR point cloud data with LAS, TIN and mosaic datasets, as well as how to visualize and perform analysis in 2D/3D with the tools available with the ArcGIS 3D Analyst for Desktop software. By developing LiDAR data management strategies with ArcGIS, participants will be able to help support the decision-making process in their organization.
